The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is a standard aggregate indicator of the overall severity of multiple injuries to the human body. This score is calculated by summing the squares of the three highest values of the Abbreviated Injury Scale…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating incidence leading to permanent paralysis and loss of sensory-motor functions potentially resulting in the formation of lesions within the spinal cord. Imaging biomarkers obtained from magnetic…
Assessing the similarity of two images is a complex task that attracts significant efforts in the image processing community. The widely used Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) addresses this problem by quantifying a perceptual…
A good deal of science and technology concepts and methods rely on comparing and relating entities in quantitative terms. Among the several possible approaches, similarity indices allow some interesting features, especially the ability to…
A BCI user awareness of an error is associated with a cortical signature named error-related potential (ErrP). The incorporation of ErrPs' detection in BCIs can improve BCIs' performance. This work is three-folded. First, we investigate if…
This paper describes a time-series-based classification approach to identify similarities between bio-medical-based situations. The proposed approach allows classifying collections of time-series representing bio-medical measurements, i.e.,…
When scientometric indicators are used to compare research units active in different scientific fields, there often is a need to make corrections for differences between fields, for instance differences in publication, collaboration, and…
Simulation of assistive devices on pathological gait through musculoskeletal models offers the potential and advantages of estimating the effect of the device in several biomechanical variables and the device characteristics ahead of…
An industrial process includes many devices, variables, and sub-processes that are physically or electronically interconnected. These interconnections imply some level of correlation between different process variables. Since most of the…
Background: Current mathematical quantification methods for beam symmetry are highly sensitive to noise, especially in beam profiles with significant variation. Purpose: This study evaluates the accuracy of standard radiotherapy beam…
An extensive library of symptom inventories has been developed over time to measure clinical symptoms, but this variety has led to several long standing issues. Most notably, results drawn from different settings and studies are not…
dentifying associations among biological variables is a major challenge in modern quantitative biological research, particularly given the systemic and statistical noise endemic to biological systems. Drug sensitivity data has proven to be…
The Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) is the current de facto standard to determine agreement between a reference segmentation and one generated by manual / auto-contouring approaches. This metric is useful for non-spatially important…
AI-generated music may inadvertently replicate samples from the training data, raising concerns of plagiarism. Similarity measures can quantify such replication, thereby offering supervision and guidance for music generation models.…
We propose the Signal Dice Similarity Coefficient (SDSC), a structure-aware metric function for time series self-supervised representation learning. Most Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods for signals commonly adopt distance-based…
We propose new summary measures of diagnostic test accuracy which can be used as companions to existing diagnostic accuracy measures. Conceptually, our summary measures are tantamount to the so-called Hellinger affinity and we show that…
Impairment of hand functions in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) severely disrupts activities of daily living. Recent advances have enabled rehabilitation assisted by robotic devices to augment the residual function of the muscles.…
Usage of field-normalized citation scores is a bibliometric standard. Different methods for field-normalization are in use, but also the choice of field-classification system determines the resulting field-normalized citation scores. Using…
Trouble hearing in noisy situations remains a common complaint for both individuals with hearing loss and individuals with normal hearing. This is hypothesized to arise due to condition called: cochlear neural degeneration (CND) which can…
Quantifying the similarity between two mathematical structures or datasets constitutes a particularly interesting and useful operation in several theoretical and applied problems. Aimed at this specific objective, the Jaccard index has been…
